Historical Aspect:
Held overnight in 1877 in the cell behind the Courthouse opposite, young Ned, 16 at the time, was charged with riding his horse on the footpath. Escaping from his captors as he was being escorted to the Courthouse, Ned fled to the Saddler/Bootmaker King's shop (64a Arundel Street) across the road. There a violent struggle ensued with Ned making a statement later to become reality at Stringybark Creek, site of a fatal shootout.
